A Resistance of Witches
1940, and war rages across Europe. The future looks bleak. But now, emerging from the shadows, the Royal Academy of Witches offers its help. And so it is tasked with finding an ancient artefact that, were it to fall into Nazi hands, would help Hitler fulfil his twisted Aryan dream . . .
Stubborn, plain-spoken and from an unimpressive family, Lydia Polk never expected to be chosen to work under Isadora Goode, the Grand Mistress of the Royal Academy of Witches.
Now, three years into her apprenticeship, and with Hitler’s armies rampaging across Europe, the Witches of Britain have joined the war effort – but not without some resistance from within, the British government having originally forced the witches into hiding.
As Lydia’s power grows, she too joins the cause, tracking down magical relics in order to keep them out of Nazi hands. But a Nazi witch infiltrates the Academy with heart-breaking consequences and suddenly Lydia’s mission becomes even more urgent . . . Somewhere out there, hidden amidst the chaos of war, is the Grimorium Bellum - an ancient book that Hitler craves, a book so steeped in dark magic that it has the power to wipe out civilisations - an artefact that Lydia must find and secure at all costs.
Dropped into the heart of Occupied France, Lydia finds allies in Rebecca Gagne, a French resistance fighter with a secret, and Henry Boudreaux, a Haitian-American art historian who seems to possess a little magic of his own. But tracking down this book is only half the battle - for the Grimorium Bellum seems to have a dark agenda all of its own . . .
Exophony
'Tawada's strange, exquisite book toys with ideas of language, identity and what it means to own someone else's story or one's own' The New Yorker on Tawada's Memoirs of a Polar Bear
Are you formed by your mother tongue?
How might the world unfold if you stepped outside of its rhythms?
In this playful and daring interrogation of language, the globally acclaimed Yoko Tawada reveals the poetics, politics and potential of existing outside one's mother tongue. From Senegalese writers discarding colonial-enforced French to the increasing use of loan words in her native Japanese, Tawada deconstructs the ways in which the world shapes and is shaped by languages: their hidden systems of power, their sweeping histories and, ultimately, the people who claim, reject, adapt or romanticise them.
Exophony is an invitation to revel in the possibilities that emerge when we dare to seek beyond the familiar - and a sharp, incisive series of essays in which Tawada's erudite wit and multidimensional curiosity sing.

Touch her & you
The monster is always slain...
Imogen Nel is in hiding. Hiding from a cruel kingdom that believes Sirens are monstrous, blood-hungry creatures. Hiding from a king and his captain who viciously hunt her kind. Hiding from her own alluring abilities. By keeping herself from the sea, Imogen's bloodlust is dulled, and her black wings remain hidden beneath her skin.
When a neighbouring king comes to visit, Imogen can no longer hide. He knows precisely what she is, and he believes she is a lost Siren heiress who can save both their kingdoms from an even greater monster. But Imogen's magic threatens to violently reveal itself, and the two form a blood bond that protects them both. They flee the kingdom together, traversing waters teeming with the undead. As the lines between duty to their people and desire for each other begin to blur, Imogen worries her own ancestral powers may not be enough to kill what hunts her-the only way to defeat a monster may be to become one herself.
The Bewitching
Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga from the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic.
'Moreno-Garcia is a deft enchantress - this is a ghost story in high Gothic style' - M.L. Rio, author of If We Were Villains
'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches': that was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva - stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales.
In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch.
Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.

Leonce a Lena/ Vojcek
37. svazek edice D obsahuje dvě významná díla pozoruhodného německého autora, který předstihl svou dobu a vrcholného uznání si dobyl až dlouho po své smrti. „Pohádkový" příběh Leonce a Lena překypuje břitkým kritickým humorem, drama Vojcek má hluboké sociální kořeny a je hlubokou psychologickou sondou do duše vojáka Vojcka, který se nedokáže vyrovnat s bídou materiální, společenskou i morální. Vychází ve znamenitém překladu L. Kundery.
Chinatown
A selection of the best short stories by Oh Jung-hee, one of South Korea's most influential writers
In this emblematic selection of her stories, Oh Jung-hee probes beneath the surface of seemingly quotidian lives to expose nightmarish family configurations warped by desertion, psychosis, and death. In 'Chinatown' a young girl living on the edge of the city's Chinese community comes of age among mundane violences, collisions with adult sexuality and the American occupation; in 'The Garden Party' a woman grapples with her conflicting identities of wife, mother and writer at an alcohol-fuelled gathering. Throughout a career spanning six decades, Oh Jung-hee has drawn comparisons to Alice Munro, Virginia Woolf, and Joyce Carol Oates, and is assuredly a trailblazing writer.
Könnyhold Birodalom 2.

Miát felvették a nemes fiatalokat oktató Szent Noel Akadémiára. Miközben igyekszik távol tartani magát esküdt ellenségeitől, akik miatt az előző idősíkban kivégezték, továbbra is az az alantas szándék mozgatja, hogy önmagát helyezze előtérbe, és hasznos kapcsolatokat alakítson ki. Valamiért azonban korábbi ellenségei ezúttal jó szándékkal közelítik meg... Mia önző cselekedetei végül nagyot fordítanak a sorsán, és a korábban ügyetlen hercegnő új kihívásokkal szembesül ebben az egyedülálló, jövőt megváltoztató fantasyben!
Kniha nového slunce 5: Urth Nového Slunce
V Knize Nového Slunce sepsal Severián Veliký, autarcha Společenství a právoplatný vládce Urthu, kroniku svého osudu až do chvíle, kdy nastoupil dalekou plavbu a na palubě nejzvláštnějšího plavidla v celém vesmíru se vydal čelit nejtěžší zkoušce svého života.
Nyní se nám dostává do rukou jeho zpráva o dobrodružstvích a záhadách, které jeho cestu provázely, o samotné zkoušce, již podstoupil jménem celého lidstva, a prazvláštním putování po místech považovaných za nadobro ztracená…
Gene Wolfe se po dovršení Knihy Nového Slunce ještě naposledy vrací k postavě Severiána a přímočaře zodpovídá mnohé otázky, jejichž řešení si čtenáři tetralogie mohli pouze domýšlet. Nebyl by to však on, kdyby na oplátku nepřidal vrchovatou porci nových tajemství a nerozmáchl se k alegorii přesahující nejen čas, ale i celý vesmír, jak jej známe.

The little voice is right, she knows.
But still, she thinks of more. And when she reaches for that dream, what reaches back will change everything.
Written by USA Today bestselling author Cassandra Khaw, Critical Role: Bells Hells-What Doesn't Break delves into the unexplored years before Laudna joins up with the crew of Bells Hells, following her departure from Whitestone and solo adventures on the road toward Jrusar.

No len čo sa ich vzťah začne, Dávid musí utiecť, aby si zachránil život, a Michol zostáva na milosť a nemilosť svojmu otcovi v kráľovskom paláci, ktorý sa pre ňu stáva väzením. Stretne sa Michol ešte niekedy s Dávidom? Ako ovplyvní ich lásku odlúčenie a následné udalosti?
